Acceptable Horizon Desktop Logon Time?

Hi,

What, in your opinion, is an acceptable logon time for a horizon pool with this config? :

- Windows 10 Enterprise

- Horizon 7.2

- Instant Clone, Floating pool

- User Environment Manager 9.2

- Small Mandatory Profile (~3MB)

- Dedicated UCS + Pure Storage Flash Array hardware

I can't seem to get logon time much below 30secs.  I know the answer to a lot of this is 'it depends’.  Depends on how tolerant the user is, depends on what and how many GPOs are applied, depends on the hardware backing the VDI environment etc.

To me though, 30secs is a bit disappointing.  A user can typically logon to their personal Win10 laptop in less than 5 seconds - I know this is an unfair benchmark to draw comparison, but it’s these kind of comparisons a user will make - users don’t care about the complexities behind delivering non-persistent desktops vs having a pre-built profile sat on a local SSD - one just is ‘faster’ than the other.

For those of you using non persistent View pools, what logon times are you achieving?

Thanks.

Which parts did you use?  The full profile or the O365 piece?

Feel free to share details, as we are all looking to speed up the login here

I'm running FSLogix at multiple customers (with either DEM or Ivanti Workspace) while using the profile container. Everything under one roof with regards to the userprofile. It's fast and solid, everyone is happy.
